Trane Introduces New XStream™ RTHF G

Brussels, Aug. 14, 2018 – Trane®, a leading global provider of
indoor comfort solutions and services, and a brand of Ingersoll Rand,
introduces RTHF G, the newest addition in the XStream™ range of
water-cooled screw chillers. The new design, now available in
countries across Europe, Middle East and Africa, is part of the
Ingersoll Rand EcoWise™ portfolio, designed to lower environmental
impact with next-generation, low-global warming potential (GWP)
refrigerants and high-efficiency operation.

“RTHF G units address the needs of building owners who want to
increase the sustainability of their operations, while maintaining or
improving capacity, efficiency and reliability with critical, large
capacity cooling installations,” said Jose La Loggia, vice president
and general manager of Trane in Europe. “We’re proud to continue
offering customers new options for sustainability without sacrificing
quality, reliability or performance. Our innovations are consistent
with the Ingersoll Rand global Climate Commitment, which includes
providing customers with products that help reduce the greenhouse gas
footprint of refrigerants and provide lower global warming potential alternatives.”

The new design offers customers an alternative, cost-effective
option for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, because the units
operate with R-1234ze, a near zero GWP refrigerant. This makes Trane
RTHF G units unique on the market today as the only chillers in this
capacity range to operate with a near-zero GWP refrigerant, and
deliver high seasonal efficiency, low installation footprint and
stable part load control at all conditions.

The new units feature the largest screw compressors on the market,
which when used in a double circuit deliver capacity of up to 2700
kilowatts (kW) and benefit most commercial and industrial cooling
applications that require maximum performance and sustainability
within a limited installation space. The design of the XStream RTHF G
offers reliable, high-efficiency performance with up to 6.3 Energy
Efficiency Ratio (EER) and up to 9.5 European Seasonal Energy
Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) with variable speed.

The key differentiators of the new XStream RTHF G screw chillers
include:

-Dual circuit configuration in a market segment that could
previously only use single circuit centrifugal chillers. Dual circuit
configuration reduces refrigerant content per circuit and further
increases reliability

-Serial counterflow design compatible with the use of variable
primary flow used for the first time in a screw compressor chiller and
allowing for a greater efficiency.

About the Ingersoll Rand Climate Commitment

In 2014, Ingersoll Rand publicly committed to increase its energy
efficiency and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) related to
its operations and products. The company’s Climate Commitment includes:

· 50 percent reduction in GHG refrigerant footprint of its
products by 2020 and lower-GWP alternatives across its portfolio by 2030;

· $500 million investment in product-related research and
development to fund long-term GHG reduction

· 35 percent reduction in the greenhouse gas footprint of
its own operations by 2020

Ingersoll Rand’s Climate Commitment has enabled the avoidance of 11
million metric tons of CO2e globally from its products compared to a
2013 baseline, equal to the emissions from the energy used in 1.6
million homes for one year. The company also has reduced the GHG
intensity of its operations by 23 percent when compared to a 2013 baseline.
